As far as everything else going on around here.....
- We are in back to school mode. I think that should be another post of it's own. Let's just say I had no idea how much was involved with getting ready to send my babies to school!
- My Uncle was in a bad car accident last week when someone hit him head-on on his way to work. He is very lucky he wasn't injured worse than he was. As it is, he had surgery last week on his knee (broken in 3 places) and we've been by to see him most every day. I don't know if we really cheer him up or if we are stressful. Carson made him brownies one day, and one day I found he and Emilynn to be the only ones in the den. She was telling him knock-knock jokes to cheer him. The kids are really thoughtful. Emilynn doesn't quite get the concept of jokes yet, but she tries. Her knock-knock jokes go like this........
Emilynn: "Who's there?"
Emilynn: "A banana riding a bicycle. Hahahahhahahahahahaa".
- Yep, her jokes are all told all by herself and make no sense whatsoever. She thinks they are HILARIOUS. You end up laughing at her laughing. Silly girl.
- I was explaining to the kids they had nap time at school. Carson told me he didn't want to take a nap. I told them they didn't have to sleep, but they had to at least rest. Carson replied- "Rest really isn't my thing." O-kay. Dustin and I died laughing. I don't know where they come up with this stuff! I told him to take that up with his teacher. Ha! Poor teacher.
- Henry is working on his potty training still. He has good days and bad days with it. I am hoping by end of summer he will be totally trained. I plan to get the carpets cleaned after that-they are in awful shape! No sense in doing it while he's still having accidents sometimes though. I had it cleaned 2 years ago and it looked like new. Maybe he'll be "housebroken" soon, haha!
- We have not made it to see the new Planes Fire & Rescue movie but maybe this weekend. The kids really want to see it and we have not had a spare time to go. I have to say I am looking forward to it a little myself. Yep, I get tired of watching the same kids shows/movies over and over and over.....
- I keep saying we are gonna go ahead and start getting up at school time and get into that routine. Then, every morning when the time comes I think....I'll try tomorrow instead! I don't think I'll ever be a morning person. I am trying though, I really am. We'll get there eventually I suppose. I'm torn between getting in the routine and savoring every last moment of summer!
- I am going with my cousins to a concert tomorrow night and I must say, I am excited! I had not planned to go but they had an extra ticket. I love concerts so it should be fun!!!
I will post more later! For now, here is our menu plan for the rest of the week. I need to get back into that habit too!
Hamburger steak, gravy, onions; mashed potatoes; corn; rolls (having my father-in-law for dinner)
Leftovers
Baked chicken and some sides (yet to be determined but I plan to bake a whole bird)
Something with the leftover chicken...maybe chicken salad or casserole
*I also have to figure out what to cook for our family dinner Sunday night. It's my turn to bring meat. I have no idea what I want to do yet!
